Kids today, amiright? What with their vaping, texting, emoji-ing and whatnot-never mind what happens when teen villains the Gang get their hands on Gold Kryptonite!

The Gang has already robbed Superboy of his powers, and now they're ready to reveal their grand plan!
Tomasi and his team offer an issue filled with fun that is sure to entertain fans new and old alike! Read Full Review
If you want crazy, silly fun, with sharp and witty dialogue, unexpected twists and pure joy permeating each page, then pick this book up. Read Full Review
Reading Super Sons each month is a true pleasure. This title has a playfulness that reminds me of Peter David's Young Justice (I miss that title). How can you not love a book that makes Superman Red, Superman Blue into a family tradition? I can't wait to see how this plays out in next month's issue. Read Full Review
I love these characters. I am going to hate to see them go away. I am going to hate to not be able to read their madcap adventures any more. At least I got one more ride on the merry-go-round. Read Full Review
Even as a big fan, Adventures of the Super Sons #2 constantly surprised me. Whether it was the callback to Manchester Black from way back in the original Superman: Rebirth or some of the plot twists in the second half of the comic, there was a smile on my face the entire time. Tomasi captures the spirit of growing up. As out of this world as these adventures are, there are kernels of honesty and truth littered throughout the issue. Out of all the comics in the DC roster at the moment, this remains my favorite title by a mile and a half. Read Full Review
The final page on this issue has me a bit bummed out that it's going to be another month for the next installment. This book has been a lot of fun already and I'm fully expecting some more surprises next issue. Read Full Review
Read the Adventures of the Super Sons. Please do. Its a fun series thats experimenting with more legitimate feeling threats and I feel that should be rewarded. Read Full Review
There were complaints from some folks I know (like one Jim Werner) that the pacing of issue #1 was off, particularly in the beginning with some retreading of old ground from the first series. It moved past that towards the end of issue #1, and it is barely present in issue #2 if at all. This is full steam ahead with The Gang vs. The Super Sons, and I for one can't wait to see where we go from here. Read Full Review
I am so happy to see the Super Sons back in action, and this book is truly one of the most fun and creative stories out there. Do not sleep on Adventures of the Super Sons! Read Full Review
The art is very good as Barberi comes into his own with this title. It's well done and well crafted. His art is great and makes the whole book flow and is exciting. Overall, it's a very nice second issue in a 12 issue limited series. Read Full Review
Adventures of the Super Sons #2 was another fun issue for the embrace in being evil that we have received from The Gang. We now know how they came to be, what motivates them, and what is at stake for the Super Sons if they do not put a stop to their plans. It was an interesting approach to this discovery, and hopefully the next issue fully addresses how this Rex Luthor fully created this persona from who he used to be. Read Full Review
Adventures of the Super Sons #2 is a whimsical tale of injustice set against a harrowing background of children led astray. The emotional context and clever characterizations contribute to what is quickly turning out to be a great story that is well worth picking up! Read Full Review
This chapter in the Super Sons story is full of campy comic book fun. Read Full Review
This is just required reading. It’s funny and charming, the characterisation is all there, and the art is more than superb. Read Full Review
Another good issue that adds some interesting layers to the villains. Read Full Review
Barberi delivers some great art in this issue as well and everything has a great sense of movement and motion in how it complements the story that Tomasi is creating. Great visuals throughout help keep the story suspenseful as well as fun. Read Full Review
The book ends on a cliffhanger, which is caused, in part, by Damian's attempts to fix their situation. Tomasi plays off some long-standing Superman lore in the final dilemma, and the outcome of the secret ally is still uncertain. What makes this book so good is the way Tomasi set up intrigue and expectation for the future of this story. I recommend this book to adults and children and for fans of the Super-Sons due to the art and the cliffhanger at the end of the issue. Read Full Review
Adventures of the Super Sons is a simple good guy versus bad guy story where, currently, the bad guys are winning. Super Sons is an entertaining title with amusing characters in a story that has enough surprises and twists to keep it interesting. Read Full Review
And that basically sums up this book " it's silly, it's over the top, and it's at its best when it embraces that vibe and tones down the caustic sarcasm a bit. Read Full Review
Coming off a great first issue, Super Sons this week hits its sophomore slump. I'm still excited to see what Tomasi does with these characters, both new and old. The story itself feels similar to roads we have been down before. But as long as it's fun then it shouldn't really matter. If you're a series "completionist" then yes, definitely get this book. If not you probably won't be lost next issue. Read Full Review
The beautiful art from penciler Carlo Barberi and inker Art Thibert, with colors by Protobunker, is a highlight of the issue, delivering exactly the tone they need to sell a menacing cadre of kid supervillains. Read Full Review
Despite really enjoying this issue, it was good, it didn't really advance the story aside from showing the sinister kids' plan and them realising it. Even so, the stakes don't feel high yet. Compared to the previous installment it's mostly just setup and exposition leading from the heroes' capture to the surprise twist at the end, which leads into the next chapter. Read Full Review
This issue got me re-engaged with this series. Let's hope the third issue keeps up the momentum. Read Full Review
Competently told and illustrated exposition that, sadly, never rises to much more than that. There's nothing bad here, it's just rather dull. Some of Tomasi's ideas are interesting, and the cliffhanger promises some amazing Silver Agey goodness going forward, but this still feels like set up for greater adventures ahead. I'll always have a soft spot for these guys, and I'll always hope for the best, I just hope that the adventures promised in the title start soon. Read Full Review
Best and sadly the last part of the Rebirth storyline from DC. Doomsday Clock is irrelevant now that Didio and Bendis are on track for boredom New52 style.
So pick it up while you can and enjoy some goofy good fun. Also it is entertaining to teenagers. At least the 9 in my extended family.
This was fun & with a good writing. I would have licked seen Joker Jr. stay. I'm really hooked by the clliffangher.
Cover - Good cover, not a fan but really good & with link. 2/2
Writing - A really good surprise with a real work on the young gang. 3/3
Arts - The arts is wonderfull love it. 3/3
Feeling - Still a little mixed about following it, but a gain me more & more at each issue. 1.5/2
A lot of fun and continues to be the best characterization of Damian Wayne in a running series.
Meh, alright.
